Hy,
Please consider it more an experiment than a pubblic relase.
Dea is a Qtruby based deployment system.
Linux installation systems often require the use of a shell
and are not easy to use for novices, coming from a Windows world.
Windows installation systems are hard to programm or are
closed source.
How mixin a portable solution?
Dea is a set of pure ruby libs designed to build a minimal one-click
installer and unistaller.
Try it at http://realm.ath.cx.

To create a new Dea Setup:
steps:
1: Install qtruby and dea-0.0.1
2: Create a root dir with files to install.
3: Create a dea dir in the root dir.
4: Insert in the dea dir the file license.txt
5: Write a setup.rb script.
6: Run `dir2dea root dir`
i.e:
1:
dea=dea-0.0.1-setup.rb
wget http://realm.ath.cx/src/$dea &&
ruby $dea
2:
mkdir -p new_pkg-0.0.1/{dea,var/tmp/test1,tmp/test2}
4:
cp /usr/doc/license/GPL-2 new_pkg-0.0.1/dea/license.txt
5:
if (! $nogui)
require "dea/introframe"
require "dea/licenseframe"
require "dea/summaryframe"
setup.init_gui()
main_window = setup.main_window
intro_frame = Dea::IntroFrame.new(main_window)
intro_frame.title_label.set_text("<b>Tree, Resources Interchange.</b>")
main_window.add_frame(intro_frame)
main_window.add_frame(Dea::LicenseFrame.new(main_window))
main_window.add_frame(Dea::SummaryFrame.new(main_window))
setup.exec_gui()
else
setup.install()
end
6:
dir2dea new_pkg-0.0.1
Regards.
